WEEK 0 — ARRIVAL

[cartesio]

Week 0: Arrival

When you wake up you immediately feel something’s off. You sit on the bed and find it’s not your bed, and this isn’t your room either. You seem to be in a rather normal-looking motel room. To your side there’s a trunk, if you open it you’ll find a military uniform, the key to your room, a set of rules and a debit card. Don’t lose those items! Or do lose the rules, you'll find a brand new copy the next day under your pillow. There’s also a calendar on the wall, you can see today’s date. The year is unreadable, but the month and day are very clear:

March 28^th
There it says ‘Meet the Sergeant at the Lodge, 9:00 AM’. There’s also a circle around March 31st, with the word ‘END’ scrawled there.

For now leaving your motel room would be a good choice. When you reach the lobby, you see the receptionist’s desk— no one’s manning it. There’s a rack filled with maps, marking several locations in the town.

There are also many strangers here – and you’re one more. For now it may be a good idea to take a map and explore the town.

After all, looks like you’re stuck here in the boonies for a while.

[ Lovepon is listening to all this quietly from a bit away. The longer it goes on, the more nervous she seems to get and by the end she has her arms wrapped around herself, rubbing her own shoulders frantically. ]

... an execution... we need an execution... If we find a criminal it's going to be fine.. Just execute once...

almost here

[intentus]

[ it takes a little while for natsume to notice but, when he does, he glances over at lovepon. ah...

it looks like she's having a hard time—but, maybe he shouldn't get involved? sensei would want it that way. except, sensei isn't here. ... after glancing back at her a second time, natsume turns away and decides to leave lovepon alone. ]

[cartesio]

You'd do well in not saying such things aloud. You're not being subtle at all.

[Ixnay on the illingkay, Lovepon]

[agoreable]

An execution isn't a bad thing, it keeps us all safe.

[ She takes a deep breath to try and get herself together enough to give a proper response. ]

We'll find the bad guy and execute him together.. and we'll be fine.

[cartesio]

Good luck. You'll need it.

[The Sergeant sounds incredibly dismissive. He doesn't believe in the slightest Lovepon will be able to do anything about 'finding a bad guy']

[streetwolf]

[Uhh, shady teen is just going to glance at her. Does he need to run?]

...You okay there?

[agoreable]

... how can I be okay when we're being asked to kill?!

[ She looks up at him with a panicked expression, but she doesn't move to pounce or anything... tentative verdict: you probably don't need to run. ]

[streetwolf]

It's just some old fart talking a load of shit. Not like he can make anyone do anything. At least, if these other guys aren't complete morons.

[He's not all that worried, more annoyed at being bossed around. He's already used to this stuff.]

[agoreable]

But can you be sure? He brought us here, and everyone is strangers... There could be anyone among us, anything... If there's a criminal, they need to be executed.. We must avert the tragedy before it can befall us... For sure, we need to...

[ Her face falls again and as her rambling trails out, she's just staring at the ground with wide eyes again. This paranoia isn't easily calmed. Lovepon would run to the ends of the earth if she could, if only it meant to never encounter mean-spirited people again. ]

[streetwolf]

I know some of these guys look like morons. But I'm pretty sure they're smart enough to realise this weirdo could just shoot them as soon as he's had his fun.
